🎃 Looking for a spooky, fun Halloween watch? 🎃

We've got you covered! Check out "A Recipe for Disaster"—a full-length Halloween show we created and produced a few years ago! This show is packed with eerie atmosphere, dramatic acrobatics, and just the right touch of circus magic to make your Halloween extra special. And the best part? You can watch it for free, right from home!

✨ We’re sharing this show to give a taste of what’s possible as we work to bring productions like this to life in Northern Virginia and the DC area. With your help, we’ll be able to bring even more immersive performances to the community, creating a dedicated space for circus arts that blends creativity, fitness, and incredible live entertainment.

Head over to our GoFundMe page to enjoy "A Recipe for Disaster" and, if you feel inspired, consider making a donation! Every contribution directly supports our mission to grow our circus community and bring accessible, high-level productions to a whole new audience.

Hi there! We’re Daniel and Lizzy, circus nomads who have spent… Daniel Gilbert needs your support for Help us build a new kind of circus in Northern Virginia.

First off, THANK YOU to everyone who's supported our gofundme so far! Your contributions have been invaluable as we take the next steps towards building something amazing. 🙏

You can contribute to our fundraising campaign at gofundme.com/circusnova

While our ultimate fundraising goal is way beyond what we could raise on GoFundMe, every dollar helps us make key purchases and look more attractive to potential investors. That's why we’re expanding the fundraising goal and might continue doing so as we progress.

This next round of funding will help us put on small shows and events in the DC/NOVA area. It’s looking like we won’t find an outdoor space for the rig before winter hits, but don’t worry—we’re already working on securing a spot for spring (more on that soon)!

In the meantime, we’ll be focusing on networking and collaborating with local artists to produce smaller performances. To make that happen, we need to purchase some basic show equipment like a PA system and lighting—your donations will go directly towards this.

✨ ALSO! ✨ Lizzy will be teaching aerials and private lessons at Monarca this winter, and both of us will soon be available for personal training and program design help. Plus, we’ll be creating content for our online platform, Circus Steps, to launch soon!

The funds raised here will not only help us prepare for a busy spring but will also support our long-term goals of opening a full-scale training space and performance venue. We’ve got big plans and can’t wait to share more with you as we move forward!

And hey, if you know anyone who can help with website development, social media, video editing, marketing, or fundraising—please send them our way!

Welcome to Circus Steps! 🎪

We’re so excited to have you here as we officially launch our new project! Circus Steps is more than just a school—it’s a place where movement, creativity, and community come together. Our ultimate goal is to create a dedicated training and performance facility right here in Northern Virginia. We’re building a space where students of all levels can learn, train, and be inspired by the magic of circus arts.

But we can’t do it alone! Whether you’ve worked with us in the past or are just finding out about us now, we’d love your support and feedback as we continue this journey.

👉 Leave us a review! If you’ve trained with us before or have seen us perform, head over to the review section and share your experience! Your stories help us grow and inspire others to join in.

👉 Share your memories! If you have any photos or videos from our time together—whether it’s from a class, a show, or a fun moment in between—we’d love to see them. Feel free to post them here on our page and tag us!

We’re just getting started and can’t wait to keep you updated with everything that’s coming up. Stay tuned for more about our plans, classes, shows, and how you can get involved!

Thanks for being part of this incredible community. We’re so glad you’re here! 💫
